2007 Fan Fest, 9-15 ... Brewers Win!

brewerjamie15 · August 7, 2007

Unfortunately due to health concerns, Nicole the Automatic Baker will be unable to fully celebrate Fan Fest the way she'd like to this year. Most commonly she caters the thing to degrees above expectation. This year however, the stress and preparation for such an undertaking would be pretty rough and too much to ask of her.

With that in mind, I'm going to take the bull by the horns and get this thing rolling. (How you get a bull to roll is beyond me though)

I called the Brewers ticket offices and spoke to Group Sales and found to my surprise that September is rather open for groups at this time. I think we can get tickets going pretty easily, I'd just need to get money up front for tickets.

CHEAP AND LOW STRESS FAN FEST 2007

Event date is scheduled for 15 September at 3 pm for a 6:05 start against the Reds. ( Tailgate Time is subject to change due to gates)

Basically, I'm going to ask that people pay for Terrace Box Seats which are $18 each. plus $2 for food and supplies. $20.00 per person

I"ll need to collect money for those wishing to sit in the BF.Net area up front since I can't afford to advance the tickets for everyone.

Next up is the issue of Parking. Traditionally, we get a tailgate slot which costs upwards of $160.00. I'm not going to do that this year. There is no reason that we can not collaborate three vehicles to park side by side in a row and claim this area as ours for tailgating. This is a $24 tailgate spot, not $160.00 The three first arriving vehicles will be moderators and staff members and will pay the parking fee themselves. Groups do it all the time, we can too.

Our next concern would be food. I have a great idea for that. Bring your own. In an effort to keep costs down, I'm asking that people volunteer to make something for the group. You don't have to make a huge amount, just enough for a few people. If you are going to make or bring something, please post it.

We'll be needing the following:

Veggie Tray

Dips

Chips (5-6 bags)

Fruit salad

Pasta Salad

Potato Salad

Something you want to make for the group

Soda

Bottled Water

We need supplies too:

Coolers

Chairs

Tables

I'm going to ask for $2.00 from each tailgate attendee for Bratwurst, Hamburgers, and buns,plates, napkins,and other stuff needed.

I will bring a grill and provide charcoal and I will cook.

Lastly, but probably most importantly for this thing would be beer. Simple. Bring some and share it. We'll have room in coolers for beer if you don't have a cooler. If you want a few beers, bring them. If you want a lot of beers, bring lots.

You don't need a game ticket to tailgate with us. You don't need to sit in our area to tailgate with us, ya just gotta contribute for food and stuff.

We will locate the pre-game festivities in the North Parking Lot. It is the GIANTS lot located on Story Parkway. It's the lot just north of I-94 where you have to go under a bridge to get to the ball park.

If you are going to attend I need to know a.s.a.p. so I can calculate food, tickets, etc.

Bring as many people as you want with you. Bring your Aunt Tilly. Bring Uncle Jed. Bring your neighbor, bring your kids, bring your spouse. Just come and have fun with us!

$20.00 a head gets you a game ticket and food. You can't beat that with a stick.

Deadline to get your money in is 27 August.
I will be purchasing tickets on 27 August and hand them out at the tailgate.

Please respond with your RSVP to this thread and again to me via PM so we can work out payment arrangements.
